Important

•Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to connect copper tubing to household plumbing in compliance with local codes and ordinances.

•A self–piercing or 3/16" (4.8 mm) saddle valve is not recommended. Both reduce water flow, become clogged with time and may cause leaks if repair is attempted. The correct type of shut off valve requires a 1/4" (6 mm) hole to be drilled in water supply pipe prior to valve attachment. The manufacturer is not responsible for property damage caused by improper water connection.

Materials Required

1/4" (6 mm) flexible copper tubing. Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply connection plus an additional 8' (2 m) for service loop behind refrigerator.

Procedure

1.Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place brass nut and brass sleeve on copper tubing. Insert copper tubing into water valve inlet port. Connect brass nut on copper tubing to water valve inlet port. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.
